Perhaps one of the most powerful and difficult books I have ever read. I have to put it on my “top shelf” of all time reads but this book is not for everyone.

This is a detailed story about the love and friendship that four men share from college into late middle age and it centers around one of the four, Jude, who is a severely broken person stemming from an unimaginable childhood. However he finds grace in a transformative relationship with someone who loves him so deeply you will often be on the verge of tears.

Don't go lightly into “A Little Life,” but go you might.
